“Standing
ovations and extended applause - the premiere of
Le Poids des Éponges was a true success.”
“Choreographer
Guilherme Botelho creates wonderful and comical images...
he has a company of excellent dancers, who are also
convincing
actors.”

| Brazilian born choreographer Guilherme
Botelho presents his internationally acclaimed Swiss company
with an entertaining performance of visually thrilling
dance theatre.
Le Poids des Éponges opens a colourful window into
the topsy-turvy world of a chaotic family household, mirroring
our everyday experiences, joys, and battles, creating both
comic and poignant snapshots of life.
With a stunning soundtrack, ranging from Shostakovich,
Brazilian beats, and a haunting Scarlatti piano score,
this high-energy performance balances off-the-wall humour
with tender moments of touching beauty. A magnificent climax
sees the heavens open with a gulf of water plunging to
the stage, as the whole company don their bathing suits
and dive in for the most surreal swimming race ever seen!
Join Alias for an illuminating experience of highly entertaining
and visually thrilling dance theatre.
